What incentive do they have to change it? People will still click and still pay, and if they don’t, they’ll refer it to collections and ruin their credit. As long as the billing office gets the money, in their view, the bar for “competence” is passed.
This is something that only people like us can see. The rest of the world doesn’t care about the problem, and even if they did, they have zero incentive to fix it.
- avarun 3y ago> People will still click and still pay, and if they don’t, they’ll refer it to collections and ruin their credit. Healthcare has one of the lowest payment collection rates of any consumer industry. And as of a couple years ago, medical debt under $500 can no longer go on your credit report even after going to collections. States have passed even more consumer-friendly versions of this law, like NY where no amount of medical debt can affect your credit score. So actually medical billers are directly hurting themselves with their incompetence in this and many other departments.
